Tag Archives: Como Agua Para Chocolate

So last week (Wednesday 26th October) we launched a night that could become a regular thing in London. It was our first collaboration with Battersea Spanish and Doodle Bar for an evening intended to transport everyone to Mexico, and it was a huge success with the event being sold out and everyone seeming to have a great time. Fitting in with the Mexico theme we screened the classic film Like Water for Chocolate, served up some really nice Mexican food via the street food caterers Tamales, played some Mexican tunes and topped it all off with a Skype Q&A with the film’s author Laura Esquivel, which went down a storm with the crowd (there’s a shot from the Q&A below). It was a great night, and hopefully we’ll get the chance to repeat it soon.

Stephanie from Battersea wrote a really nice blog post about the event which you can read here.

About Me

I write about music and culture (mainly from Latin America) for a number of websites and publications, as well as working as a publisher, editor and music consultant.

I founded Sounds and Colours, a website devoted to South American music and culture, in 2010. Since its beginning Sounds and Colours has expanded to become a publisher and record label, releasing a number of books and albums focusing on Latin American culture.

I regularly contribute to Sounds and Colours and Songlines, and have written for publications including Huck, The Wire, Makeshift, fRoots, The Quietus and Time Out São Paulo, amongst others.

I also work as a music consultant for brands, agencies and organisations wanting a better understanding of Latin American music.
